🧙 🏗️ A magic way to deploy Laravel using Pulumi, EKS and ECR. 🎉

A different, dynamic, fast and secure way to deploy your Laravel application.

What you need to know first

This is my first stack that I built using Pulumi and Kubernetes. I confess, I don't know much about it. I actually created this stack as a way of studying. But, don't be like me. Study the technologies involved here first. But, if you want, be like me, download that stack, deploy it and go changing, modifying or breaking.

Here are some interesting documentations:

• Pulumi
• EKS
• Kubernetes
• ECR

Ah, I know I wouldn't need to ask this, but: You already know docker, right? If not, LEAVE AND GO STUDY DOCKER BEFORE!

If you implement something cool, don't forget to send the PR. Okay?

Why AWS?

Why EKS?

I didn't want to build a K8s cluster because I was lazy.

First Steps

• Install kubectl Documentation: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/
• Install Pulumi Documentation: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/get-started/install/
• AWS Credentials Please, follow the steps describe here: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/cloud-providers/aws/setup/
• No more steps. "What?" Yeah. Like I said, it's magic.

Stack resources

Let's deploy 🚀

Now that we already have Pulumi and Kubectl already installed, let's start our stack.

1. Install dependencies

# npm install

2. Initialize stack

# pulumi stack init yourStackName

3. Configure Laravel APP_KEY

# pulumi config set laravel-pulumi-eks:APP_KEY <value> --secret`

4. Review resources and stack preview

# pulumi preview

Output expected:

4. Access your Laravel application

# pulumi stack output loadBalancer
